Jake Paul Considering a Move to NFL and NASCAR After His Boxing Career Ends

Published 12/11/2021, 10:01 PM EST

‘The Problem Chid’ Jake Paul had no plans to become a boxer when he shot to fame with his social media success. However, Paul has been pretty successful, amassing an active record of 4-0 so far. The 24-year-old is already a prizefighter and is feuding with all the kingpins of the sport.

While a few years back, almost no one had envisioned Jake Paul entering the boxing ring, the existing scenario is highly contrasting. Paul, however, doesn’t want to stop. He has already planned his future beyond boxing and doesn’t mind exploring other sports.

In a chat with Gareth.A.Davies when asked about swimming against Michael Phelps, Jake Paul said, “Why not? You know I have wondered what do I do after boxing? I’ve thought about NFL, I’ve thought about NASCAR but now that you are bringing up swimming.”

Most of the social media stars turned boxers have been into entertaining fights except for Paul, who has pushed limits after every by-gone appearance. Having beaten two former MMA champions in the ring, Paul has also dreamed of grabbing the boxing world championship at one point.

If Jake Paul truly envisions himself facing stars like Canelo Alvarez in the future, he needs to remain solely focused on boxing for the time. It is safe to say that he is dialed in, as he will look to maintain his unbeaten run next Saturday.
